Endemic to southern Australia Bight Redfish (Centroberyx gerrardi) is found in Southern Western Australian border to Lancelin. It is a commercially important species caught predominantly in several fisheries including; the Great Australian Bight Trawl Sector (GABTS) of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery, by open access wetline fishers in the South Coast bioregion, line fishers in the south-west management area of the West Coast Demersal Scalefish (Interim) Managed Fishery (WCDSIMF) and by temperate Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Fisheries (DGDLF) operating in the West and South Coast bioregions. Taken mainly at depths ≤200 m in the West Coast bioregion and the GABTS. This species is often grouped under Centroberyx spp. (Smallwood et al. 2013).

With the aid of improved technology, this species is increasingly being targeted by recreational boat-based rod and line fishers and spear fishers in the West Coast and South Coast bioregions (Mackie et al. 2009). This species is also caught by charter boats in these bioregions.
